to Thomas Creighton. The latter has been

three weeks ago Mrs. Creighton went there
on a visit, leaving the house in charge OF
two young men. Frank Whitman and
George Richards. who only slept there and
boarded elsewhere. Since Mrs. Creighton's
absence there has been no fire in the house.
Whitman and Richards retired to he'd
shortly after 8 o'clock, and q couple
OF hours later Richards was awak-
caused by the flames. He slept in the
west room with Whitman, and jumping
out of bed. opened the door OF the room
and saw thai the whole east end OF the
house was in flames. which we're making

and dressing hastily, they were able to get
all their effects out, and with the assistance
OF reiehbors, saved a couple III beds and
bedding and a small stove. The rest OF the
furniture and the house *ere entirely de-

the Creightons for 5000, though really
